  • Students interested in a secondary field in Italian or Portuguese, which are smaller sections that offer fewer 200-level courses than Spanish and French, should contact the DGS.
• Neither pass/fail nor audited courses will count toward a secondary PhD field in this department.
• All courses expected to count toward the secondary PhD field will be taken in the department.
• In the section of the student’s choice; in compelling cases, one “related course” may be counted toward the secondary field with permission of the DGS.
